I just thought of something else. Why not have the setup program have a section where it asks if the user wants to start services like cron and ssh, where there would be the selection box and at the bottom of the GUI it would tell the user to reference the readme files in the doc directory as well as running cygrunsrv --help to start services not selected during setup.
I'm actually surprised that cron isn't started by default, since it has been with every Unix/Linux install I've done. The ssh daemon has been optional and must be set up later. In any event, asking during the install would be nice, even if it is a reinstall. Food for thought. MB -- e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /~\ The ASCII [I've been to Earth.
